Over 100 Telangana government-run junior colleges across the State are staring at a bleak future as they are yet to apply for affiliation from the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education for the academic year 2025-26
TG BIE Secretary S Krishna Aditya said hall tickets for both first and second-year students have been made available online in the respective college logins
As students find it stressful to navigate to the centres particularly on the first day of the exam, the TG BIE is integrating QR codes, which come embedded with the location of the exam centres, to hall tickets
Stating that an admissions notification and schedule for ensuing academic year 2025-26 was yet to be issued, TG BIE Secretary S Krishna Aditya instructed the colleges to strictly adhere to the admission schedule
In a letter to the State Election Commission, TG BIE Secretary Krishna Aditya makes an appeal to exempt staff from local bodies' election duties as they are involved in exam work
The issue stemmed with the Board imposing hefty fines on private junior colleges operating in mixed occupancy buildings over delay in receiving affiliation for the academic year 2024-25 due to delay in obtaining NoC from the fire department
The TG BIE, which undertook syllabus revision, has decided to align curriculum in line with NCERT curriculum thereby reducing academic burden on students
Move is aimed at introducing students to the world of AI, its application to the real world and ethical aspects involved in it; TG BIE also mulling to introduce machine learning and robotics
